Microsoft’s Steffen Krause has written an excellent whitepaper on Tuning the Performance of Change Data Capture in SQL Server 2008, that I technically reviewed, and it was published late last year.

Configuration of sys.sp_cdc_enable_table parameters

Configuration of the CDC capture job

Using Extended Events to determine the performance and characteristics of CDC
